Dos 3.3 Launcher or something

[mahaffy@dordt.edu (James Mahaffy)]

Folks,

	I have a IIgs, 40 meg harddrive and fully populated memory board.
But I still use a DOS 3.3 word processor (Magic Window) and Sensible
Speller.  I do have graphics Writer III for fancy stuff.  In looking at
some older files, I noticed that Matt Ackert suggested DOS 3.3 Launcher
for running DOS programs.  Does anyone know where I can get it and if it
would work?  It would be nice to not have to wait for this old hard
drive to boot up. 

	I include a copy of Matt's old post:

        As you mentioned, there is a program called DOS Master that will do
what you want. It will mark off an area of your ProDOS volume as used, which
is being used as a pseudo-DOS 3.3 volume.  Included are programs copy files
from your DOS 3.3 disks to the "DOS 3.3" volume on your hard drive..
Note that this will only work for programs that don't assume
 they're in slot 6,
drive 1..  This is written by Glen Bredon, who's also the author of ProSEL.

	Another more recent program to put DOS 3.3 programs
 on your hard drive,
in a different method, is a pr
program called DOS 3.3 Launcher.  It will convert
file-based DOS 3.3 programs, and many full-disk programs
 (e.g. games with their
own OS that aren't actually DOS 3.3) into files on your hard disk.
